What to include in a PPC report

A PPC report built on Porter’s templates has six parts, in the order a client or manager reads them, each covered by a template.

1

Spend and results

Spend, conversions, cost per conversion and ROAS against the last period: PPC dashboard template.

2

Platform comparison

Each ad platform side by side, so the budget goes where conversions are cheaper: cross-channel marketing dashboard template.

3

Campaigns and creatives

The campaigns and ads that earn their spend and the ones to pause: PPC campaign performance template.

4

Budget pacing

Spend to date against the monthly budget and the daily spend that lands on target: PPC budget tracking and pacing template.

5

Funnel and ROAS

Impressions to clicks to conversions, with CPM, CPC and CPA at each step, and revenue per dollar spent: ROAS dashboard template.

6

Next steps

Two or three changes for the next period, with an owner for each.

Match the detail to the reader: clients and executives need spend, results and ROAS; PPC managers add platforms and campaigns; analysts need keywords, creatives and pacing, often daily. For one platform, use the Google Ads report templates or the Facebook Ads report templates.

How to set up a PPC report template

Every Porter PPC report template starts with one free step: connect your ad accounts in Porter. Then set it up in your reporting tool.

On Porter’s Free plan, Claude reads the last 15 days, and Data Studio and Google Sheets up to 30 days. The 14-day trial has full access and needs no card (Porter pricing).

In Claude

  1. Sign up free at Porter, open Data sources and connect the accounts your report needs, for example Google Ads and Microsoft Ads for the PPC report.

  2. In Claude, go to Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp and name it Porter Metrics. Click Continue, sign in to Porter and allow access.

  3. Open a new chat, paste the install prompt and put your accounts in place of the ones in brackets (Google Ads to Claude tutorial). Claude reads your data through Porter’s MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that lets Claude read data from other tools.

Install prompt
Duplicate this Claude dashboard template and keep its layout, views and styling: https://claude.ai/artifact/UNZUpmGsGDDitVMuj4JftX Then rebuild it with my own data through Porter: a PPC dashboard for [Google Ads account] and [Microsoft Ads account] for the last 14 days, with Google Ads Cost and Microsoft Ads Spend as one spend column: KPI cards for spend, conversions, cost per conversion and ROAS; a platform comparison; daily cost per conversion per platform; campaigns from both; keywords with spend and no conversions; ROAS by campaign; and impression share lost to budget and rank.

What makes these PPC report templates different

A PPC report is only useful if it is current when the client opens it. Porter’s templates update themselves from each ad platform, in the tool you report in.

1

See a live example before you sign up

Click through the Claude PPC dashboard without an account, then decide.

2

Every ad platform on one page

Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, Microsoft Ads and X Ads in one table, with no CSV exports.

3

One report, four tools

Explore it in Claude, send it as a Porter link, or keep it in Data Studio or Google Sheets.

4

Ask why, not only what

In Claude, ask the next question in the same chat, like which campaign pushed cost per conversion up.

5

Client reports on your logo

Send each client a report with their branding and no Porter badge on paid plans.

Porter has a gallery for each ad platform, use case and tool.

PPC report template FAQ

Are these PPC report templates free?

Yes. All 26 Porter PPC report templates and prompts are free to download, and the Free plan never expires. Longer date ranges need the 14-day trial or a paid plan from $12.50 per account a month, billed annually (Porter pricing).

What is a PPC report?

A PPC report brings pay-per-click data from Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads and other ad platforms into one place, with KPIs like spend, CTR, CPC, conversions, cost per conversion and ROAS, so a team or agency can track campaigns and show clients the results.

What KPIs should a PPC report include?

Start with the funnel: impressions, clicks and conversions. Add efficiency KPIs (CPM, CPC, cost per conversion), effectiveness KPIs (CTR, conversion rate) and bottom-line KPIs (revenue, ROAS, CAC), then break them down by platform, campaign, time and audience.

How often should I send a PPC report to clients?

Most agencies send clients a monthly report and check a weekly report internally for pacing and cost per conversion jumps. A Porter dashboard can email the report on any schedule.

Is there a PPC report template for Excel?

Yes. Copy a Google Sheets PPC template, refresh it with your data, then choose File, Download, Microsoft Excel (.xlsx). The Excel file is a snapshot; the Sheets copy keeps refreshing.

Claude, Porter dashboard, Data Studio or Google Sheets: which should I use?

Use Claude to build the report and ask follow-up questions, but anyone opening a shared Claude dashboard needs their own Claude access (Anthropic’s guide to sharing artifacts). Use a Porter dashboard for client links and scheduled email, Data Studio if your reports live there, and Google Sheets for budget pacing or Excel.
